Moments worth living

Today, our lives are so fast that people can`t reconcile work and study with family and friends, which is not my case because I can very well study for school and have fun with my family and my friends.
In my life I have lived many moments that I think were worth living, not all of them are good, because sometimes we get off the bad things good things, for example, once I fought with a beginner at my old school, after the fight we became very good friends.
One advice I give to you who are reading this article, live every moment, because many of them are not good, but most will be moments that are worth living.

Moments worth living

We are always looking for happiness, but we forget that the real happiness stay on the , unforgettable and simple, greatful moments. These moments make us happy. To me, it even happens when I'm with my family, my grandparents, my parents, brothers, my cousins, especially at Christmas or New Year, or in trips with them. I feel it on a day-to-day too, when I'm in the CSA, talking with my friends, hanging out with them... And every minute that passes, I realize that I'm alive, so I think that I have to make the life worth. MAKE IT WORTH!

Voices From the List


The movie "Voices From the List" is based on the movie "The Schindler's List", and it's a documentary that contains depoiments of jew survivors of the holocaust.
The interviewed talk about the experience of being chased by the german authoritys, how it's like living in a ghetto and in concentration camps.
About a thousand two hundred jews survived the holocaust because of Schindler, who spent all his money on buying them. At first, Schindler's only objective was to make money with the jew work, that was cheaper than the german and the polish word, because they were being chased in these areas. But after seeing how jews were treated by germans such as Goeth, that killed them to have fun or for no reason, Schindler changed his mind and decided to save them.
We would recommend this film to anyone who would like to know more about what Schindler has done and about the holocaust.

Social Project: "Baú da Leitura"

This is a project in the rural zone of Bahia and Sergipe that founds a new way to defeat the school evasion, the child labor and illiteracy: the distribution of 50 thousand books for schools from 151 cities. The practice of reading incentives the children to stay in schools.

Founded in 1999 by UNICEF, the project started in 4 cities, with around 12 teachers only. The books offered by the project are for kids between 6 and 16 years. The histories read by the students helps them to learn about identity, environment and citizenship.

The rural schools were chosen because in this areas the access to information it's more dificult. Whith the help of the government the teachers of the rural schools are trained to use the material and integrate the reading activites at the school time once a week.

To incentivate the children to remain at schools the project shows a better perspective on life through the education, it helps the children not to work early.

Two years-old boy smoking

An Indonesian boy, only 2 years-old, smokes 40 cigarettes a day. The first cigarette was given by his father, when he was one year and 6 months of life, according to the English newspaper “Daily Mail”. That happens often at Indonesia, where 25% of children smoked at least once.

Ardi Rizal is his name, and he lives at Musi Banyuasin. He smokes only one mark of cigarette, making his parents spend 3,78 pounds a day. Local agents offered a new car to Rizal’s family if they make Ardi stop smoking but his parents refused. The reason is that they can’t control him, he is too much addicted and stubborn. His mother said that if they don’t give him cigarettes, he yells at them, get angry and beats his own head against the wall, and pretend to be dizzy and sick. “He treats cigarettes like another meal” said Diana, his mother. “I try to distract him with toys and games, but nothing works”

Despite all the problems, Mohhamed, his father, said he looks healthy and don’t see any problem in his son addiction. According to the Central Statistics Agency, 25% of children between 3 and 15 years have already smoked, and 3,2% of them are active smokers.

A video of a 4 years old boy smoking and blowing smoke rings, also from Indonesia, was added on YouTube in March, but it was quickly removed, due to protests from the users. One of the main reasons for the young smokers in Indonesia is that tobacco is very cheap there, it can be found anywhere and costs only a few cents.

To control the situation, a project was made, and it pretends to forbid cigarettes publicity and patronage, smoke in public and graphic images on the package. It’s going to be hard, because Indonesia is the third largest consumer of tobacco in the world.
